The Kardashians are reportedly seeking to recoup their legal fees after Blac Chyna lost her defamation case against them – and she will have a hefty sum to pay back.
Blac Chyna, real name Angela White, 33, had accused Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner and their mother, Kris Jenner, of ruining her television career by getting her spin-off reality show, Rob & Chyna axed, as well as affecting her reputation.
The court ruled in favour of the Kardashians and ordered Blac Chyna to pay the family’s legal fees according to TMZ, after failing to convince the jury that she was owed $108million (£89million) from her former fiancé Rob Kardashian’s family.
The Kardashians’ lawyers have now filed paperwork breaking down an itemised list of how much they have spent on the case over the years the case has been active.
The sum is said to have run up to $390,000 (£323,000) – and that is not including their attorney costs.
Among the costs are charges for hosting electronic documents mounting up to $7,248.35 (£6,000), court reporter fees of $19,895 (£16,500), deposition costs of $63,078.20 (£52,000) and a whopping $184,871.71 (£153,000) on ‘models, enlargements, and photocopies of exhibits.’

The court will have to sign off on the final costs now that the itemised claim has been submitted.
While the jury did not completely exonerate the Kardashians of any wrongdoing, Blac Chyna was still awarded no damages at all, leading to her mother, Tokyo Toni, setting up a GoFundMe to cover the costs of an appeal.

She has asked for fans to donate $400,000 (£331,000) to the appeal, which went live at the start of May, but so far only $1,355 (£1,121) has been raised.
After 10 hours of deliberation, the jury found that none of the Kardashian family members defamed Blac Chyna, nor did they interfere with her E! contract by convincing the network to cancel her reality show.
